Rs 52,462 crore revenue with profit of only Rs 3,659 crore? Margins are wafer thin! Competition from Hyundai, Tata, and Mahindra must be hurting. Also, input costs like steel and chips still high. Exports touching 137k units is a silver lining though, shows Indian manufacturing is getting global recognition 🚗🌍

Interesting that revenue grew 28% but profit fell 6%. Usually that suggests cost pressures or one-time charges. The Rs 140 dividend is decent, about 1% yield at current price. But stock down 22% YTD — investors are clearly worried about EV transition and Maruti's slow response. Need more electric models fast.

Honestly, Maruti should focus on quality control and after-sales service rather than just numbers. Many owners complain about rust issues and service costs. Also, with electric vehicles coming, they're way behind Tata and MG. Record sales are good but need sustainable growth. Dividend is nice but doesn't fix underlying problems 🙄

Production volume 23.4 lakh units in FY26 — that's massive! Shows India's auto manufacturing capacity is world-class. But profit dip despite revenue jump is worrying. Maybe they're spending heavily on R&D for EVs? Hope the new eVX electric SUV does well. Dividend increase is good for long-term holders like my father who's held Maruti shares since childhood 📈
